I don't want to be an elf!

Chapter Two: I'm Broken

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire island in an orange-red hue.

As the sun sets, two girls sit on the beach with their arms wrapped around their knees, silently gazing at the sun as it gradually disappears.

If it weren't for the occasional blinking they make, one might mistake them for real stone sculptures.

"Ugh......"

After a long while, one of the girls let out a deep sigh: "Actually, when I saw that it was played by Yamai Yuzuru, I already had a bad feeling."

"I didn't expect the system to actually dare to do that."

Another girl slowly nodded, her dead fish eyes drooping, and said, "At least ask for my consent, right? Splitting my consciousness in two like that, aren't you afraid I'll quit?"

Just an hour earlier, Yamai Yagyuuya, who was about to leave the area, encountered Yamai Yuzuru, who had the same idea.

The moment they saw each other, they knew the system was up to something again.

After hurriedly verifying each other's identities, confirming the situation, and checking their memories, they arrived at a conclusion.

Just like how the wind servant Yamai split into the Yamai sisters in the original work, I was also divided into two parts.

They share the same memories and the same past, but there are subtle differences in their consciousness and personality.

To portray the personality of Yamai Yuzuru, one needs to be more composed; to portray the personality of Yamai Yagyuuya, one needs to be more lively.

At first glance, this seems like a good thing.

When playing their respective fairy maidens, they can more easily immerse themselves in the role and get high scores in the end.

At the same time, in this not-so-safe world, they can also help each other and entrust their backs to each other with complete trust.

However, the fact that their personalities were split in two directly caused both girls to have many complaints about the system's actions.

After this world ends, it should be possible to piece it back together, but who will become the dominant personality after it is pieced back together?

Or will the personalities currently playing the roles of Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yagura disappear, and a new personality be born?

The two girls then fell into a long philosophical contemplation.

Only when the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon did the two girls have to snap out of their reverie.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this now."

"all will be good."

After washing their faces with the cool seawater, they cheered themselves up and decided to put the problem aside for the time being.

We’ll talk about what happens next later.

Since they can't resist the system's tyranny anyway, transmigrators with no human rights can only obey orders.

For them, the most important thing now is to decide on a general plan and direction for their actions in this world as soon as possible.

They had checked the system tasks beforehand, and the main and side tasks they received were the same.

In other words, they can act together without having to do things separately.

This is also very helpful for the formulation of the plan.

"What are we going to do next?" Yagyu asked.

"The main quest makes us known as berserkers among demons and demon hunters, while the side quests have us fight demons and gun demons. It seems that we'll be primarily focused on combat in this world," Yuzuru Yamai said thoughtfully. "We'd better join a country's demon hunter organization to find a strong backing, otherwise we might be attacked by a group of people."

In this world where humans and demons coexist, in order to protect themselves, various human nations have created a profession called Demon Hunter.

Some rely on sheer force or the power of modern technology, while others make contracts with demons who are willing to coexist with humans. Regardless of the method, they all possess the power to fight against demons and protect the country and its people.

The fact that they can maintain social stability despite the constant descent of demons shows that demon hunters are not weak.

If they set their sights on you, even if your life isn't in danger, you'll definitely have a lot of trouble.

After all, no matter how rampant the demonic disasters may be, this world is still ultimately controlled by humans.

"Um... I was just asking whether we should go find ingredients to make dinner or find a suitable place to sleep on this island." Yagyuuya coughed awkwardly twice. "But if you want to talk about that first, that's fine too. I agree with you. We should join the human faction first. That will make things much smoother when we do missions."

Although the Yamai sisters are actually elves, their life form and power system have absolutely nothing to do with demons or anything like that, there are no elves in this world.

Logically speaking, their power is too great to be mistaken for humans; they would only be seen as demons.

The demons in this world come in many forms. Some are terrifying monsters, some are mutated animals, but some have human appearances and look just like ordinary humans at first glance.

Therefore, if they demonstrate their strength, they will most likely be mistaken for demons with human appearances.

"So which country should we go to?" Yagami asked. "The system dumped us on this deserted island, which means it doesn't intend to force us to join any faction, but rather lets us choose for ourselves, right?"

“What about America? According to the plot, the Gun Demon will eventually be summoned by America,” Yamai Yuzuru suggested. “We can intercept them after they are summoned, and that way we can complete side quest three.”

“The situation in America in this world is unclear, and there don’t seem to be any high-level demon hunters in the original work, so we know we can’t take advantage of the plot,” Yagyuuya shook her head and said. “The Soviet Union and China are better choices, at least we can see some old acquaintances.”

"If that's the case, wouldn't going to Japan be the best option? You could see old acquaintances and take advantage of knowing the plot."

"If I could go to Japan, of course I'd want to go," Yagyuuya Yamai said, shrinking back. "But there's Machima there, so I'm a little hesitant to go."

Upon hearing this name, Yagyuu Yamai shut up.

Machima, the Demon of Domination, is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Hell.

Her immense strength goes without saying, but what's most terrifying is her innate ability as a demon—[Domination].

As long as Machima subjectively believes herself to be stronger than others, she can control any human, demon, or even corpse that she deems weaker than herself.

Once you are under her control, it's equivalent to becoming her property. You will not only be brainwashed into a loyal slave, but you will also lose the will to resist and willingly dedicate the rest of your life to her.

At the same time, Machima can also use the abilities of those she controls, thus becoming even more powerful.

Going to Japan to try and get Machima now would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog – a complete waste of time.

"But actually... it's not that you can't go."

As if she had just thought of something, Yuzuru Yamai pondered and said, "Machima's ability is to control people she perceives as weaker than herself. So, we just need to make her feel that we are stronger than her, and then we can ignore her ability to control her."

"Well, our combat strength is already considered quite strong among all the Pokémon. In terms of combat strength alone, we shouldn't be weaker than Makima, right?"

"Perhaps that's true, but we can't take the risk. After all, if we're controlled, we're doomed."

"Then, there's only one thing we need to do next."

The Yamai sisters looked at each other, seemingly having come up with the same idea.

They said in unison:

"Let's make a few big news stories."

Chapter Three: Tokyo Storm (Part Two)

On the streets of Tokyo, people walk briskly.

The sounds of boots hitting the ground, car horns, and people talking blend together to create the bustling atmosphere of Tokyo.

The building's dazzling screens played colorful advertisements featuring models, while mascots dressed in adorable mascot costumes introduced the day's specials to passersby. Many shops also had their signs carefully decorated.

In such a bustling city, everyone is just like the masses.

After passing each other by, you'll quickly forget about it and never remember it again.

However, this world is not lacking in special people.

When they become exceptional to a certain degree, the ordinariness of the masses can no longer overshadow their brilliance.

Just like the two people who are leisurely walking down the street right now, but are avoided by other pedestrians from afar.

A blonde girl with red eyes and bright red horns on her head swaggered down the road, humming a little tune she had made up on the spot.

At first glance, she looks like a beautiful girl cosplaying for Halloween, which should attract a lot of attention.

But now, almost all pedestrians are looking away and keeping their distance.

Because they all know that today is not Halloween.

This girl is not some pretty cosplayer, but rather humanity's greatest enemy—a demon.

More accurately, they are half-human, half-demon creatures formed when a dying demon takes over a human body.

Devil.

And this demon who doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, and who should have been hunted down by human demon hunters, is none other than the Blood Demon, Power, who has defected to the human camp and become an official Japanese demon hunter.

"We've been patrolling for so long, how come we haven't encountered a single demon?"

Pava, who had been humming for a while but couldn't continue because he was singing off-key, sighed deeply and shouted out of sheer boredom, "Tokyo has been too peaceful these past two days! I haven't been able to drink blood even once! If this keeps up, I won't be able to resist drinking human blood!"

Upon hearing Pawa's remarks, those around him showed expressions of horror.

They were already keeping their distance, but now they didn't even want to get close, and fled in all directions.

So, all that remained by her side was a boy with short blond hair, wielding a short alloy axe.

Seeing the people around him scatter like birds and beasts, the young man frowned and shouted a rebuke.

"Hey, you! Don't scare everyone away like that!"

"What does it matter? I'm not planning to actually drink their blood."

"That's not OK."

"Ugh, I was just kidding! You're so annoying!"

"If they go back and complain to the police, and Miss Machima finds out about this, do you think you'll be the only one who gets punished?!"

Upon hearing the name, Pawa shrank back slightly in fear.

As a fearless blood demon, Pava has never taken any person or demon seriously... at least on the surface.

However, when facing Machima, the leader of the Fourth Division of Public Security, she showed no demonic authority whatsoever. Instead, she was as docile as a kitten being held by the scruff of its neck, not daring to show the slightest resistance.

Seeing that Pawa had finally calmed down a bit, the boy pursed his lips and continued to focus his attention on patrol.

The boy's name is Denji, just Denji.

Being able to act alongside demons affiliated with the Public Security Bureau, the boy's identity is naturally that of a member of the Public Security Bureau, an officially recognized demon hunter.

By now, the two of them have been partners on patrol missions for some time and have come to know each other to some extent.

Of course, knowing someone doesn't necessarily mean you'll like them.
